so about a month ago i installed some relays for my HID headlights and fogs and they worked fine for like a week....then the passenger side headlight started to not fire up when i would turn the car on and the switch would be in "auto" mode.....a simple turn of the switch to "off" then back to "auto" would solve this problem......now if i start the car in "auto" mode or even in the "off" position, adn then turn the switch to "auto" after i start the car, nothing comes on!!! and a simple turn to "off" then back to "auto" doesnt help.....sometimes it takes a few turns of the switch from off to auto to get some results, and sometimes only a couple lights come on and i have to keep turning the switch to eventually get them all on. its like i have to coax the lights to come on by turning the switch a bunch of times.

im guessing (hoping) its just the relays because if i can just take them off and solve this problem, i dont mind being out $30

oh and the parking and turn signals all work perfectly....no problems with them

I just installed HID's into my sisters 08 Altima and I'm having the same problem. I don't know if its the ballast/bulb or the relay kit thats bad. Hopefully someone can help us out.

i know what's a problem.. because we bought junk for $80-90. They are selling china junk hid in xentec box. I found exact same ballast but in different package. With love from china. Fu..ing sucks. I would better pay 30-40 extra and wouldn't have a problem.

by the way check this website: http://xentec.net/

and i cant find the manufacture site.. the bestseller of hid doen't have his own site? it's a f...ing joke...

My was in xentec box and gray like on first picture. But they are all the same junk from china. The matter of somebody put a logo on it and call any brand they want it. That's why they dont work. Fu...ing junk.
